WITH WHICH THE 4‘ TRUE SUN " IS NOW :INCORPORATED. LONDON : I 'PES DAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1838. Want ( i f space prevented our noticing yesterday an Attio • v ery t Post and another in the He rald on the tal;ntTyl, 0 ° rtant sobject, to the working classes of this f a free teede in corn. The Tory Journals, etin g that; the masse:3 are beginning to be moved— that t i, • e Y be g in to call in question, in a tone of deci !Yon not t ° '17 )0 misunderstood, the right of the Legis lature to Starv e them for the benefit of the Agricultural A t 4 . 1 Y other interest, would fain persuade them that is :Y ire no worse off than the working classes have e n, Ire, and ever must be, so long as man is con den,„ -tie( t to depend for sustenance upon the sweat of tb s hr o „ y, Nor do they even stop here. They have tio e h effre eitery to try to convince them that the starva code is a n:.‘tional blessing rather than a curse -13 .I. ° o f of • the tender concern of Tory landlords for the h "aPPirve k Is of the poorest no less than the wealthiest ;sh bread consumers. The Post whichun}, 'ke the 11, void, though often flippant, is never viciisessively lul I nor ponderously oracular, commences 4 ' the foliewn'ng notable attack upon the Liberal c'urna ls who. have not attempted to make the starva to lieo de a le .ver for upsetting the present Cabinet : the jour e c e s s really believe the Corn Laws to be inimical Prosperit: T of the country, and if they think that popular e2i ngsvvt.iuld be better employed in affording demonstratio h n e s g' just th re pt . uS . e la ws than in demanding further alterations of s t ied 4 ae . .„ s en i , t i ative s yatem, why is the Government left unremin fie 'upon the subject ? Why are these popular *heh u lt 'F! . 5 0 olently censured for censuring the Government, it be true that the a b o li t i on o f t h e C o rn Laws is the %V% t a n d b est thing that can be done for the country) the_ tv e4 e rn went deserves the severest blame for not having made the slight es t o ffi c i a l move towar d s t h a t a bolition. :Ye ; shall t a k e l eave to answer t h ese questions by t o: n g , 01 ie or two in our turn. Will the Post pretend e t , r 4 Y tt the overthrow of the Ministry would pro e for tile people a repeal of the Corn-laws ? °lll4 fir .ROBERT P EEL , if again Premier, eman ein.te em from the thraldom of a code which is tl;i t , ' lip to o tl kis cou:ltry to the verge of ruin ? The Post , oasts evcn--that, slight as is our chance of ot e ' /ea l f the Dev;?'s laws while the Whigs are in th- 1 4 ' the ret urn o f t h e T or i es t o p o wer would render e " 41 `doli :ion, b y any b ut p hy s i ca l strength, next to 4 8 11o T 8i Wherefore, then, single out the Whigs its of especial condemnation ? The Tories vti th -4 l these laws for their own sordid benefit, and Th e t he deliberate intention of famishing the poor. tep ett Y l b a\ 'e, tooth and nail, opposed every attempt to th e y w ? i r i modify them, for the same reasons. That . fact 1 : 1- Th.sue the same line of infernal policy, is a I lca.to ‘ e v i ll ,: ch our Contemporary himself glories in -- " T • Whert.:fore, then, should the shafts of of an- Popular " n eance b t hurled exclusively at the heads t he W 1 g Jigs for a aim . : begotten of Toryism upon l oth. P 1" and which, but Il' . the Tories, would have 4t 4 :' disapp eare d b e f ore the jest indignation of a bia ; viri g Pev2ple ? We do not mean to say that no th e a:1 ottributoble to the Whigs, and particularly to vvh• m et nbters of the present Cabinet, for the course 1- 3 4 Le . 7 have pursued upon the Starvation Code. t ,j oi the Con trary, t h ey a have ry manifested, upon all occa tve, Is, st mig sympati with the Tory faction, when the the q uestion a t i ssue. was the right of permitting th k litle - rtoto cl asses to purchase bread at the !st shop. F or th i s they have not been spared in t ryst "' dumns of a n y J ourna l opposed to the Starvation St t ei n—certai n l y not in the I leading columns of The Patti But we have alwayz endeavoured justly to on our censure ; and therefore we state distinctly, ttat , -44 had t h e Ministers voted with the Corn-law :ists when the question was last before Parliament, would have been left in a minority. But it is el css to Pursue this point. The following extract ti.'e Post admirably exposes the absurdity and Slie h o nest,- o f the course recommended to Liberal `l,o_llrutals Anti-C orn -; e w assemblies : 1 at i s an aekno,'ledged principle of Tory policy that to tl'et . _ thine,: steady the country, 511; ,1 to do justice to all -, ties und er existine• cumstances, rice of corn must be 11 el it considerably abov o t h e continentr I c overage Jess price hn from fifty to sixty shilling s for the quarter of wheat e essarily create a confusioa, e m barrassment, and distress in kti a ,Nffktirs o f the cow:try, which. if continued, would bring "m lOtte fearf u l convulsion. Jt rnattet6 nothing then to the Tories—beyond being to them the cause of deep regret — that the popular ignorance and impatience should demand a repeal of the Corn-laws—it matters nothing t.) them that popularity is to ba obtained by advocating the vulgar and plausible side of the question—it matters nothing that what is with impertinent vanity described as " the determination of the popular mind," or the " spirit of the age," should be all in favour of free trade in foreign corn—the Tories know that this country is in no condition to bear money cheapnev, with out a revolution which would entail much misery upon all classes of the people, high and low, rich and por. The Tories will, therefore, under whatever circumstances of dis advantage they may fight the battle, continue to fight it steadily against the clamour for free trade in corn, whether that clamour be raised insidiously by a dishonest Government, or openly and sincerely by a mistaken populace. " It is an a cknowledged principle of Tory policy" that, to rob the working man of the price of a loaf, no method can be adopted more simple than to compel him to buy at a shop, which charges for one quarter!) as much as would serve, over the way, for the purchase To change this system might be productive of " embarrassment and distress" among those who subsist by the robbery of the mechanic and the day labourer ; but as regards the poor themselves, the change would enable them to purchase two loaves in stead of one. The Corn-laws are a tax upon industry for the exclusive benefit of the landed Aristocracy, and therefore' the people may place the utmost reliance upon the correctness of the statement in the Post, that the Tories will never consent to their repeal. There is no dissimulation here. The people must fight their own battle, prepared beforehand to see themselves op posed by all who have a direct interest in keeping up the Corn-law robbery. The masses are the only bread-earners, and while the Whigs enjoy, in common with the Tories, the unholy gain arising from the bread monopoly, they may expect to see themselves opposed by the united influence of both parties. Let us now attend to the solemn, but more stolid, rea soning of our grave Contemporary, the Morning Herald : How curiously inconsistent these erudite advocates of free trade contrive to become, whenever they venture to string to gether a few consecutive sentences 1 We are habitually as sured by them, that our Corn-laws place our manufacturing supremacy in jeopardy, by compelling Continental nations to manufacture for themselves 1 Nay, we are assured that already we have been driven from many markets by our foreign rivals, and that, day by day, our inability to sustain the pressure of their competition developes itself more clearly I We are told, at the same time, that these foreign nations have no natural advantages for the business of manufacturing—as England is declared, on the same authority, to have no natural advantages for corn-growing. England, in short, it is laid down, pur sues a mad policy in consuming home-grown corn ; whilst the manufacturing countries of the Continent, it is alleged, pursue a policy, not less mad, in preparing their own manufactures No political economist ever said, or pretended to say, that continental nations were guilty of any act of folly in manufacturing any article which could not be supplied at a cheaper rate from England. The folly and madness was, in compelling these ❑ations to be come manufacturers in self-defence, rather than take their wheat in exchange for our cottons. The Herald cannot comprehend how a commercial system adopted by England and Prussia, can posibly be injurious to both. Now nothing is simpler. By compelling Prussia to manufacture at all, we necessarily entail upon her the necessity of continuing to manufacture , whatever natural disadvantages she may have to con tend against ; and consequently we narrow the market for our own goods. She might better afford to grow corn than manufacture cotton, but having reared an artizan population, incurred the expense of machinery, and em barked capital to a large amount in manufactures, she is forced to seek in protecting duties an encourage ment for her internal trade, analogous to what in Eng is claimed by the corn-grower. By the free labour of the spinning-jenny, the loom, and the furnace, the British artizan, might raise as much wheat in Prussia with six hours' work, as he can in England with twelve ; but the Legislature in its wisdom forbids him to do so, and thus converts the Prussian peasant from a grower of wheat into a rival mechanic. It is, in fact, compelling the tailor to waste a week to make himself a bad pair of boots, when by bartering with his neighbour the boot-maker he might obtain a good pair at the cost of two days' stitching with his needle, and vice versa. Whatever may be the opinion of the fkiald, there is in truth no more inconsistency in asserting that England, in compelling continental na tions to leave the more profitable employment of grow ing corn which we want, for the production of manu factures in which we superabound, injures both herself and them, than there would be in asserting the same thing of the boot-maker and the tailor, provided the former made his own coat, and compelled the latter, in self-defence, to make all the boots worn by his family. But to return to the more. important point from which we set out. We would impress upon the pub lic mind that the people themselves must repeal the Corn-laws. We do not mean by any demonstration of violence, but by opposing to their longer conti nuance a powerful unanimity of moral conviction which shall scare the Legislature into a compliance with the popular will. In the meantime the question cannot be too much agitated out of doors. Anti- Corn-law Societies ought to be organised in every town and village ; and, to add to their efficacy, it would be well to keep the question of cheap bread as widely as possible apart from questions of irritating party warfare. The great battle is the people's, and they must win it for themselves. A Radical meeting, which was attended by several thousands of people, took place yesterday at Man chester. The Morning Advertiser states that not less than three hundred thousand were present, but our Contemporary, we suspect, greatly exaggerates the number. However, be this as it may, there is no ques tion that the meeting was a most imposing one, and as little that the proceedings throughout were con duct2d in the best spirit of order and regularity. Mr. FIELDEN presided, and addressed the people ►n a speech whose chief object was to impress on them the expediency of forthwith comb:ning and agi tating for Universal Suffrage. This, he said, should be their rallying point. There were other questions, no doubt, of considerable moment to their interests, and which, therefore, they should by no means lose sight of—such as the Corn-laws, the Ballot, Short Parliaments, etc.—but Universal Suf frage should be the question to which, before all others, their best energies should be directed. The Hon. Member for Oldham deserves more praise for his sincerity than his discretion in prcffering this advice ; for its tendency is neither more nor less than this, to exhort the people to grasp at shadows, and to take no heed to substances. By combination, discipline, and perseverance they may, at no distant date, obtain the repeal of the Corn-laws, Triennial Parliaments, and the protection of the Ballot ; but Universal Suffrage—however in accordance it be with the principles of the Constitution—is a boon they can never hope to gain till the prejudices of a vast and in fluential portion of society are removed, and a new generation his sprung up actuated by far other feel ings than the present. Surely, then, it ware better for the Radicals to agitate for that which they can gain, than for that which they can not gain, by agita tion ! But Mr. FIELDEN says, No. His advice is, struggle for the unattainable ! League together and cla mour in a voice of thunder for the visionary ! Sad crot chet this, and such as fills the souls of all the Corn-law advocates with rejoicing, who cannot but see in the proposed combination of the Radicals for Universal Suffrage, undeniable proof that their darling monopoly is for the present secure. 'Then, as regard s the Ballot and short Parliamenis;bw can we expect to gain these Re.forn r , which arc really and truly within our reach, if we expend all of pnerg,ies—dissipate all our meads—in THE SUN, LONDON, TIJ struggling for so impracticable a measure as Universal Suffrage ? Mr. FEARGLTS O'CONNOR expressed his cordial approbation of all the sentiments contained in Mr. FIELDEN'S speech ; observing . , with infinite pomp of manner and abundance of grotesque gesticula tion, that he spoke as one having authority, inasmuch as he was not only the representative of Brighton, but the representative also of the south of England, and eke of the Democratic As3ociation of the City of London I FEARGUS is a clever declaimer, and now and then hits by accident on a happy idea, and has even been known—however incre dible it may appear—to give something like good advice to his Radical friends and adherents ; but it must be confessed he is by no means the most modest of men. The representative of Brighton indeed Pray, who are his constituents, and when did his election take place ? We should be glad to be illu mined on these obscure points. The Paris Journals of Sunday have all been re ceived. On the 11th inst. Admiral BAUDIN sailed from Cadiz for the Gulf of Mexico, with three frigates, and the Creole sloop of war, commanded by the Prince DE JOINVILLE, third son of the King o f the FRENCH. From Spain the only authentic intel_ ligence communicated in these Journals is embodied in the following telegraphic despatches : BAYONNE, SEPT. 22.—8 y decree of the lath, the resigna tion of General Latre, as Minister, has been accepted. Ge neral Van Haien takes the command of the army of the centre. Nothing of importance, up to the 19th, respecting Espartero and Maroto. SEPT. 23.—0 n the 19th General Alaix left Artajona, in order to attack the Carlists on the other side the Arga ; but, attacked by a superior force, he was compelled to retire, after having lost 200 men. At Puente de la Reyna he was rein forced by the column of the Ribera, with which he renewed the attack. It is said that he was wounded, and that the Car list Brigadier Echevanin was killed. The advices direct from Madrid are of the 16th inst., but they are wholly made up of speculations, some of which are gloomy enough. The results which we stated three years ago would follow the long continuance of a fratricidal civil war, are be ginning to be very generally experienced. Spain is fast exhausting her moral as well as her physical re sources, and unless peace be speedily restored to her, she must become little better than a nation of banditti. The cruel and unnatural warfare in which she is en gaged, is rapidly debauching the moral feelings and sentiments of her population. The following arc extracts from the Journals:— The Journal de Paris has the following article : Every day brings with it (so to speak) a new scandal. Yes terday evening, at the Opera, much was said of the publica tion of a pamphlet, by the former agent of one of our most important Ministerial departments, which is said to have di:- closed incredible exactions. Several persons in place aro seriously inculpated. This pamphlet, it is said, has been I .rinted at Brussels, and of which there are copies in Paris. Lord and Lady Holland have just arrived at Paris. A letter from Toulon of the 18th says that the Hercule, of 100 anus, Captain Cary, bad just arrived from Brest, whi ch it left on the Ist of this month. On the 14th the Hercule met the Cyclope and the Zebre off Barcelona, three days after having sailed from Toulon. The captain of the Cyclupe communicated with the Hercule. It seems that the Vulcain bombard, not being so good a sailor as the other, had been taken in tow by the Cocyte steam-boat, which would carry it through the straits. A telegraphic dis patch had brought orders to hasten as much as possible the equipment of the other two bombards. It is said that this is of great importance; but whatever diligence may be used it will not be possible to fit them for sea in less than a fortnight. Le Commerce. ...... A correspondent at Milan writes to us:—" The am nesty does not admit of any exception. If some of our friends should have understood the five articles as establishing classes, do you undeceive them. The will of the Emperor is, that the fugitives shall be at liberty to return to their homes. It is said that the illustrious General Zuchi, who formerly served in company with your best generals, and who had been confined in the dungeons of Gratz ever since 1831, is already restored to liberty. —Constitutionnel.

MIDDLESEX. Messrs. COVENTRY and SHADWELL, the Barristers ap pointed to revise the Lists of Voters for the county of Mid dlesex, held their Court to-day at White Conduit House, for the purpose of revising the Lists of the parishes of St. Luke, Old -street, St. Bbtolph Without, Aldersgate, St. James, Clerkenwell, St. Mary, Islington, St. Mary, Stoke Newing ton, St. John s Hackney, and St. Leonard, Shoreditch. It was agreed between the two Learned Gentlemen that Mr. Coventry should take the Lists for St. John, Hackney, St. Mary, Stoke Newington, St. Luke, Old-street, and Mr. Shadwcll, those of Clelkenwell, St. Botolph Without, Aldersgate, St. Mary Islington, and St. Leonard, Shoreditch. The reason why it was agreed that Mr. Shadwell should take the List for St. James, Clerkenwell was that on that List the question of rating the New River Company would have to be discussed, and the opinion of Mr. Coventry was already known. Before Mr. COVENTRY. The Lists for the parish of St. John's, Hackney, was completed, several names having been struck out. To the names in this list there were five objections by the over seers, four of which were allowed • three objections by the Reformers, all of which were allowed ; and 27 objections by the Tories, seven of which were allowed. ST. LUKE'S. The name of Mr. Chaffers, which had been placed on the list as a freeholder, in consequence of his holding a freehold in Dulwich College, he being one of the members there, and having a room appropriated to himself, was objected to. Mr. COVENTRY held that Mr. Chaffers was not such a free holder as would entitle a party to a vote. It could not be held as a life interest, because marriage would put an end to t.---Objection allowed. WESTMINSTER. (Before Mr. CRAIG. ) THE " MORNING PosT" OFFICE.—Wm. Pitt Burne was objected to by the Liberals. Thomas Barton deposed—l know Wm. Pitt Burne, who oc cupies the house, 335, in St. Mary's, Strand. He is the pro prietor of the Morning Post, and the business of the Morning Post is carried on there. Mr. Borne is the tenant under a lease granted to his father on the 25th March, 1831, for twenty-one years, at a rental of upwards of 100/. The foreman and his wife reside there. Mr. Borne is the present owner of the interest granted by that lease. He is the residuary legatee and executorunder the will of his father. When he is in town he resides with Mr. Michele, in Lancaster-place. He has no other residence. By Mr. CRAIG-Between the 31st January and the 31st July, in the present year, he was in town. He is only oc casionally in the country. During that time he was some times at Cambridge, sometimes in Lancaster-place, and some times at Fulham. He has left College since January. During the whole of these six months he has had a residence with Mr. Michele. Mr. Michele has an interest in conducting the Morning Post. Mr. Burne is a proprietor, if not sole proprietor. Mr. CRAIG—I understood you to say he was the proprietor, and I therefore inferred that the Morning Post belonged to him. Mr. Barton—Under the will of his father it belongs to him, but there is an arrangement that Mr. Michele shall re ceive certain profits. The whole of the Morning Post be longed to the late Mr. Burne. lam certain that Mr. Wm. Pitt Burne bad rooms in Lancaster-place to which he could resort as often as he thought proper. He bad a sleeping room. I never was in it. I have seen him at Lancaster place. _ Mr. West said it appeared from this evidence that Mr. Burne only occupied as part proprietor of the Morning Post. Mr. CRAIG said it appeared that Mr. Buena occupied, although Mr. Michell might have a right to say he occupied too, and if any issue had been raised on that, he should have been i eady to consider the point. It was difficult to say exactly what did contribute a residence ; but the witness un dertook to swear that d ur i ng t h e requ i s i te ti me M r . B u rne had rooms in Lancaster-place to which he might resort. The objection was overruled. PARISHES OF ST. MARGARET AND ST. 3011 N. (Before Mr. MYLNE.) THE REGISTRATION SHILLIN3.--A person named Bcust was objected to by the overseer, on the ground that he had refused to pay the registration shilling, and was thereby disqualified. The receipt was produced, at the bottom of which was writ ten, " paid the registration shilling," in the handwiiting of the overseer. The overseer, on being shown this, admitted that the money had been paid. Mr. Trott said, if the question came properly before the Court, he should be prepared to contend that the non-payment was no disqualification. The objection was overruled. A great number of objections were taken by the Tories on the same ground, and also on the ground of not having paid the taxes due; but it was proved that in nearly every case both the sums had beep paid ; and many of the parties were very indignant at having been called from their business on such unfounded objections.

Spices were a little in the Market, and fetched firm prices. These were the substance of the public sales, which it will be perceived were neither numerous nor heavy. There is considerable inquiry for Fureigp Sugar, but we have not heard of any im portant operations.

IRELAND. ,) 38. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Dublin, Sept. 23. Loub JOHN RUSSELL—Lord John Russell arrived in town yesterday morning by her Majesty's steam-packet Urgent, from Liverpool. lie is staying at the Castle, and is likely to be an object of special curiosity with our sight-loving citizens. Yesterday evening Mr. Moore sailed for Liverpool, his ar rangements not permittinghirn to accept of a public dinner,which was projected when his arrival in his native city was known. ile was made the subject of a very silly and disgraceful hoax on Thursday, evidently by some political, for he has no pri vate, enemy. All the Morning Papers of that day announced that he had volunteered his patronage to a performance at the. Theatre, for the benefit of the Mendicity, and would be pre salt Upon the occasion. The afterpicce announced was the Irish Lion, the farce in which Buckstone makes Tim Moore, an Irish tailor, be mistaken by a literary coterie for the Bard of Erin. The hoaxers succeeded by sending advertisements to all the newspaper offices after they were closed for the night, and these forgeries were written in a hand -writing strongly resembling that of the manager of the theatre. The least ac countable part of the story is that a respectable Tory Journal— even the Evening Mail—instead of denouncing the disgrace ful trick, stated th it, °win. - to some alterations abou t to be made in the theatre, Vie performance announced for that evening could not take pl ice. 11 1mm:sou S imam —I learn from the Secretary of the Precursor Society that upwards of two th ousand cards have been alre a d y issued for members of this new • association. Nearly a dozen meetings have been held during the past week for the purpose of enrolling me mbers, in various di s t r i cts of the metropolis. A requisition for a meet ing at Roscrea, to form a branch society, has just reached town. TrrnEs.—This day the inhabitants of eleve n p arishes meet upon the bill of Abbeynoekm3y, county Galway, to protest against the new Tithe Bill, and demand an unqualified aboli tion of the tax. Two other meetings have been called in other districts of Connaught, and the work of agitation is going as briskly on as before the passing of t he Bill. It is rain and silly to believe or hope that any half measures will satisfy Ireland upon this great measure. In the unforgotten words of Lord Stanley, Tithes must be abolished . " THE POOR LAW. —Operations have been commenced by the Assistant Commissioners in all the provinces, and accounts from Cork, Limerick, and Belfast, go to show that they will re ceiva a hearty co operation from the respect.ble inhabitants of almost every district.

Covent- Garden theatre opened last night, for the season, with Shakspeare's tragedy of Coriolanus, brought out with all those splendid appliances ofscenery, illustrations, and costume, with which Mr. Macready has already wrought a glorious change in the representation of Sbakspeare's matchless drama —throwing into it a new vigour and fidelity—investing each' particular play with the spirit of its time and country, and sur rounding it with such aids and attributes of minor detail as give justice and effect to the intellectual grandeur of the poet's conceptions, no less than to the manner, action, and expression in which the careful and capable actor would fain fulfil them to the audience, in a form of truth. As usual at the rising of the curtain," God save the Queen" was sung by the strength of the company, and encored, we suppose on ac count of the theme, for certainly the singing did not deserve it. Miss P. Horton took the lead rather feebly, and Fraser appeared nervous, but Miss Rainforth acquitted herself with fair eclat. She is a pretty improving singer. Imme diately after the national anthem the house rang with en thusiastic shouts for Macready, who, on making his ap pearance, was loudly and heartily cheered. He made a short speech, as nearly as possible to the following effect : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—l really am at a loss to find words to assure you how much I feel this very unexpected honour and compliment. I will endeavour to deserve it by seeking to produce the national drama in a manner worthy of it. But I will not make professions further than to assure you that unre mitting zeal, good intentions, and good faith shall be my guide during the present season." Mr. Macready, in retiring, Igreatly cheered, and the tragedy shortly commenced. The nner in which Coriolanus is now brought out at Covent garden was sufficiently indicated towards the termination of the last season, to require any new remarks at our bands. We have only, therefore, to notice the acting of Mr. Vandenhoff, who has somewhat distinguished himself in the part of Marcus Curtius. Our appreciation of his perfoi mance, however, is not of the highest, though he certainly played it with some sk;11 and good general effect. Perhaps, too, we should make allowances for the disadvantage of hoarseness under which he seemed to labour, and a want of physical power to deliver some of his finest readings with sufficient energy. For instance, he " measureless liar," was feebly given, though the rest of he speech to Tullus, from " Boy 1 — Cut me to pieces, Volscians ; men and lads, Stain all your edges on me. Boy! If ycu have writ your annals true, 'tis there, That, like an eagle in a dovecote, I Flutter'd your Volscians in Corioli ; Alone I did it. Boy 1" Was well and forcibly given. His conception of the charac ter of Coriolanus war, upon the whole, good, although it wanted in some of the more delicate touches of art, which it in one or two instances even violated. It was, for instance, great bad taste in the scene where he is at once soliciting, yet scorn ing, the voices of the mob, to blow along the stage, as if op pressed with heat, or offended by the intrusion of some bad odour. The idea was coarse, and not in accordance with the classic tone of the character. We are by no means, however, inclined to disparage the general performance of Mr. Vanden hoff, which was both clever anti spirited, and left upon us the impression that be could have played his pare better, but for (we hope temporary) physical debility and aff , ction of the voice. Mrs. Warner deserves high praise for her acting i Volumnia. She \performed beautifully, and fairly proved the possession of great genius. Vandenhoff's daughter, as Vir gil* appeared for the first time at this theatre, and went through her character with quiet respectability. At the con clusion of the tragedy Vandenhoff was called for, and made It!s bow to the and ence. After which Mr. Phelp; announced Cymbeline for Wetinesday, to day bring dies non. The afterpiece was High Life Below Stairs. The pit was crowded at first price, and altogether the house was well filled. THE STRAND. A new piece was brought out here last night under the title of Jacques Strop, being, in fact, a continuation of the '-dventures of that renow n e d, illustrious, an d most popular rascal, Robert Macairc, %silo has been expressly r e vi ve d by Mr. Selby, for the gratification and instrue,ion of an insatiate public. We aro informed that be has only been wounded in eventful conflict with the gendarmes after his murder of Grrneuil, and we find him once more " strutting his hour upon the sta,:e." The character was very ably r e susc it ate d by l Mr. J. Lee, who entered into the spirit of the (nigh wi.li an energy, vivacity, and • era;.seiriblance that was sure to eLrry it through triumphantly. The female characters were a.l - supports-d. Mks Daly, as Louise Gerineuil, r. as as carnet a, d impassnonid as a woman (a Frenchwoman too) d , :•prived of her lover ani her father ca n be. M rs . S e lb y was truly amusing as M a d ame G anac h o, a bustling, sell, ming. matchmaking, overpowering mamma. Miss Pettifer an Mrs. Pranks (her daughters) quite at to me as " interesting young ladies" in search of husbands. Mrs. Coppin, as Marie, the neglected wife of Robert Macaire., Inid little to do, and that little was proportionally difficult to do well ; but the interest that she excited in her quiet way proves how much can be done by a few words uttered with the simile natural tone and manner in which real grief so feelingly and so eff.T tively expresses itself. ---- - Sir 1111 4 11 Palliser has left town for Hastings, THE II A RVEST.—The weather for the last three weeks has he:n very faveurahle for collecting the harvest in the principality.

The St. James's Theatre has been pronounced by the first vocalist of the day ono of the best in London for giving due effect to music.
